AutoLogin to Console on 7.0

rondroid

Hey all, just installed the latest version 7 - Pre1.Seems to be running well. Good job to all.On my version 6.01 machine it always goes straight to theconsole after boot, without the need for me to login and thentype "console".I would like to set that same functionality up on my new version 7machine. How can I do that?

rondroid : I realise you are referring to the physical console (ie monitor) and probably know more about this than me, but if you want to do your dev from the comfort of your [insert favorite chair] rather than in front of a noisy server, I'd just use putty over ssh. If you set it up as in the last post of this thread ;http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=28301.0then you can just double click putty, and bam - your in - no passwords or usernames, and even though you are firewalled, it is still secure (even more so than normal passwords?).
